It's not worth the risk. I'm going to take a break now until at least 2:00.

I don't know why I said this trade was an accident; it wasn't really. I just plain messed up. It was one of those trades where the second you enter it, say "whoops! that was a mistake."

This was an effort to salvage Trade 6. I didn't post it in real-time. I'm not sure whether I would have posted it had it been a loss (I probably would have after an hour or two), and I still don't want to post it even though it is a gain because I feel that it damages my credibility. However, I feel that having a journal is pointless without complete honesty. I apologize for the lapse in judgement/integrity. The main reason I started this journal in the first place was because of the following quote by NihabaAshi:
"You'll be surprise how many traders I've talked to think AfterBurner is a fake and he post images of his account statement."
That quote bothered me a lot, and I thought posting in real-time would erase any doubts. However, I was unable to come up with a program that automatically posts trades, and so I have to do it manually. I wish there was a way to prove myself and my trades without a shadow of a doubt, but realistically there isn't a practical solution. I guess what it boils down to is that you either have to take my word for it or you don't. The only thing I can say is that if I make a mistake, I'll come clean and admit it. There's no guarantee that anyone on this board is who he claims to be, but I'm guessing that most of us are able to see through the lies to the truth. In a way, I guess that's what trading is all about.
